Choosing the right drilling technology is a critical decision in various industries, from oil and gas exploration to mining and construction. The selection of the appropriate drilling method can significantly impact the success, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of a...
At the beginning of July, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a drought advisory for the state. Not only did Washington experience the warmest May on record, but we also had an unusually dry spring and early summer. By July, most streamflows were...
Summer is finally here, which means time to relax in the sun…or in some cases, time to water the garden! Washington weather is unpredictable, but one thing that is certain is the dry stretch we often experience between July and September. For many Washington well...
Every March, the United Nations observes World Water Day, a day to spread awareness about the world's needs regarding our water supply. The day is also a way to advocate for the sustainability and management of our freshwater resources. So how does drilling connect to...
Hard water is caused by a high concentration of dissolved minerals in your water supply. While the Pacific Northwest experiences only moderately hard water, in general, private well owners often experience a higher mineral content than those on municipal water. When...
The cold snaps and unexpected snowstorms of a Washington winter also bring other obstacles, especially for owners of a private well. Low water pressure occurs any time of the year, but it can be indicative of a specific problem during the winter months. As a well...
Winter in the Pacific Northwest ranges from mild and rainy to freezing and snowy, depending on the elevation and unpredictable weather patterns. Whether you live at sea level or in the foothills of the Cascades, as soon as temperatures drop below freezing, every water...
With winter weather closing in, many of our customers wonder if it’s still possible to drill a well in cold weather. While Washington State isn’t known for particularly harsh winters, the drop in temperature means frozen ground, snowing conditions in the foothills,...
There is a lot that goes into drilling a private water well. We’ve often shared the details of how to prepare your property, optimal well location, and WA State requirements. However, another common question is: how do you determine if there is groundwater available...
We previously shared the difference between well water vs. city water. In that article, we discussed the difference in terms of property value, cost savings (on utilities), and the environmental impact. However, the question we often get is how does the water...
